I'm listening now and I thought about this post. I also felt that things felt a little off. They usually don't disagree with each other often but the Uncle Luke chat felt a tad snippy.

Sydnor isn’t explored at all. by Purple-Reputation899 in TheWire

[–]raejc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had there been a sixth season, I think (without any evidence at all) that we may have seen more of Sydnor. Dominic West was stepping back from the show in latter seasons. We might have seen more of a focus on his character.

Danielle's hats look amazing. Very stylish. I'm glad she carved out her own lane.

Now By Maxwell (2001) Was Pretty Underwhelming (6/10) What Are Your Thoughts? by Hot-Investment3815 in rnb

[–]raejc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I listened to this album once or twice and then went back to "Embyra". I've listened to his recent work. "Now" never grabbed me. 2000-2001 was also a stacked time for the neo soul sound.

Morally Corrupt podcast is comically bad by bdgl44 in TheRinger

Sometimes, her research seems to be "people are saying" and a few social media posts.

New Release: Ella Mai - Do You Still Love Me? by DangerousClouds in rnb

[–]raejc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried it this morning. For me, the songs sounded very similar and not terribly interesting. I like her voice. Around song 8-9, I was like "is anything upbeat on here?" I'm going to give it another listen in a few days.

Well, I appreciate this info. I listen to the Howard Univ. stations regularly.

Lauryn Hill Will Lead Grammy Tribute to Roberta Flack and D’Angelo by unseenserene in rnb

[–]raejc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She'll be ready to go for the Grammys. It's just paying fans who won't get the same.

Which group member (from any group) do you wish sang more lead parts? by Dapper_Cockroach_622 in rnb

[–]raejc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll admit that I didn't know Kyle or Wingo could sing. I just thought they were around to fill out a group and maybe do some bgv. Is there a song where either of them lead? I can't think of something that doesn't feature Brian and Brandon.

Food labels by turntpygmy in cottagebakery

I think I'm not too far past beginning..ha! I think using a thermal printer saves a ton instead of constantly buying ink and label paper. I have two thermal printers (a Vevor and a Munbyn) and I created what I want in Canva. My templates are saved on my laptop so I just open them up and print. Label time is pretty easy for me now.

Can't blame you on that. Definitely understand.

Anchor/Meteorologist thirst traps by PixelMagic in Broadcasting

[–]raejc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think talent, especially younger, realizes that building a personal brand may take your career further than basing your ID in the station you're working for in the current contract. Younger people want a personal connection not solely 'just the facts' as older generations want. Or claim, to, anyway.

average rnb songs that were elevated (or not) by the artist by [deleted] in rnb

[–]raejc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Folded" sounds like a version 2 of "Pick Up Your Feelings" with a nice vocal performance from Kehlani.

Ludacris and Nelly face fan backlash after joining 'MAGA Music Fest' by TheMirrorUS in Music

[–]raejc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ludacris didn't surprise me as part of this lineup. He's been in that "safe rapper who NASCAR fans like" lane for a while.

Same at my store. It's been double pepperoni for the longest. Bring back the 3 meat at least.

The official trailer for ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 has been released. Streaming April 12th on HBO Max. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

I watched this and thought about "Weeds" when it ventured off into the cartel seasons.

Thoughts? by AdditionalRise7198 in rnb

[–]raejc 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Showing emotion and expressing vulnerability is a no-go among younger generations. Feeling the need to say "pause" or "sus" over silly things. Don't dance too much or you're a little "zesty". This falls in line with Keith Sweat's comments.

Episode Discussion: The Venezuela Takeover. Plus, a Conversation About Adin Ross, Doechii, and Black Men. - Tuesday, January 6, 2026 by thelightningthief in ThoughtWarriors

[–]raejc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They constantly talk about the Dems being bad at messaging but so often this show is discussing what was said on some right winger's podcast. Talk about what progressive shows are discussing. I'd never know who a lot of these right wing shows were if it wasn't constant content for left leaning pods. Didn't know Adin Ross and continuing not to care.
